What Car Stuff Can You do in the Winter?
I consider you a friend, so I’m going to tell you something that’s important for you to hear. This winter is going to suck. Right now we’ve got fall leaves, stylish Starbucks cups, and the faint smell of burning wood in air (aside: whose burning all that stuff and why is it taking so long?).
